Resumen:
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a ubiquitous reactive oxygen species (ROS) in aquatic systems and is produced mainly in surface water by the interaction of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) and natural dissolved organic carbon (DOC). Andean Patagonian lakes are ultraoligotrophic, clear systems with extended photic zones (~40 m), and are exposed to challenging UVR levels due to their lati-altitudinal situation and extremely low DOC levels. This investigation describes the seasonal levels of H2O2 in relation to DOC quality in the water column of lakes Moreno East (ME) and Moreno West (MW), two deep (ca. 100 m), ultraoligotrophic, low-DOC (
